I added the picot edge. This pattern gave me problems, but only because I kept forgetting to pass the Slipped stitch over. And I could not figure out what I kept doing wrong. It has flaws but I am Happy with it.

My Laptop Got a new Hard Drive and came home for two days. It Died Completely.They did not send it off to be tested as they said they would. One Tech said it possibly had a short in the motherboard or in the Hard drive controller on the mother board. Then someone else came along and decided just to change the Hard drive and call it fixed. * insert Grumbling*Shawn took it back to the tech and they are to send it all the way back to the company (which they said they were going to do the first time). It will take them a minimum of ten days to decide if they can fix it of if the store should just replace it. *sigh*

Just to be even more annoying Windows Vista did not allow me to back up all my favorites. Security? Whatever reason, I am having to slowly remember what blogs I was reading. And as I rediscover them, I am adding them to the sidebar here on my blog.All the files and Photos seemed to backup fine, just my favorites was full of holes. ??!!

I had trouble with the Make Nubble, in the directions. So I substituted a picot edge. I took pictures of how I did this but don't know how to describe what I did.Instead of the round to make nubbles I did the following;3 rounds of knit1 round of *YO, K2tog* (repeated around)3 rounds of knitUsing a crochet hook I then folded this edge and attached it on the wrong side to the last row of the rib pattern.

After doing this I followed pattern until decreases left 3 stitches and worked about and inch of i-cord.

Congratulations to Felicia of Fluffy Flowers. She will be getting the book of baby crafts.

My computer is down for repair (if it can be fixed). It has been locking up. I was able to at least back up all my files.

I have been busy. I have been making Ornaments for as swap. I finished another knit hat and a my first knit washcloth. I started another Hat. This hat has a cable pattern and is my first try at cables. It is fun. I will post pictures of the finishes when my Laptop gets back from the shop.
